Volunteers Supporting our Mission

Volunteers are an integral part of Vision Forward Association. Their energy is the reason we are able to help thousands of people each year who are looking for information, support and services. Without volunteers, it would be nearly impossible to maintain the number and scope of classes, programs, and services that we offer.

“There’s always a need for volunteers and being able to be of assistance is such a great feeling.” – Clarice Jutz, Vision Forward volunteer

We are always looking for individuals and corporate groups volunteer their time to work with children, adults or our staff in support of our mission. We always have a great variety of volunteer opportunities available; help in our children’s wing, provide administrative support, work to beautify our campus or assist at recreational events. We’re sure to have a meaningful fit for your skills, interests and expertise. Let us know if you’re interested in sharing your time and energy.
